[Mediawiki-l] Desperate for help installing MediaWiki on win 2k

[tim marshall]

Hi folks,
I really want to install wikimedia on my computer so I can use it as a
simple way of creating content for a website.

I only need to install it on my own machine - not on a website (ie.
remote server), because I just want to use it as an easier way to
create the text and links for a website (and transfer them to a proper
web-creation tool later).

(It's for a good cause - it's a website about spirituality and
psychology).

I'm using Windows 2000 and I was wondering if anyone was willing to
volunteer to help me install it!

I've followed the instructions on the site
(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_on_a_stick), but I've run into a
problem.

When I get to the section called "Initial wiki configuration", section
2.1, where it says "Fill out the form..." I find that there is no
proper form on the page - just alot of gobbledygook.

When I click "INSTALL" it's supposed to "write" a file, but it does
nothing. Also I don't think i'm doing the earlier section about the
batch file properly either.

I really need a little help on this. Or - perhaps someone might even
be so kind as to create a readymade folder with all the stuff in it
for me...?! (Alot to ask, I know!)

But I'm really stumped.

If any brave soul was willing to volunteer for this Arthurian task I'd
really appreciate it!
